The Rule regarding Umrah Visa Fee of SR 2,000

You are not required to pay additional Umrah Visa Fee of SR 2,000 for performing an Umrah if you have not performed an Umrah in the preceding 12 months.

Let’s say you have performed Umrah in the month of Rabi ul Awwal and you are planning to come back for another Umrah in the month of Ramadan, you must pay additional SR 2,000 for the Umrah in Ramadan.

However, if you have decided to come back for Umrah in the month of Ramadan next Hijri year, there is no need to pay the fee. There have been many rumors in the market that the Umrah Visa fee has been waived off.

It is always better to make an umrah visa fees inquiry to check if you need to pay the Umrah Visa fee of SR 2,000 through umrah e-services portal. It should be a compulsory umrah visa check before proceeding to stamp the Umrah visa.
